Wow that was very very close... reminds me of the video in russia of the M5 racing the RS4 in traffic. I for one would never go that fast if I knew there wasn't an absolutely clear road ahead. But then again I am a lot more conservative with my driving now a days since I have two little ones at home.

That is really close and very lucky.

Driving fast is one thing. Relying on commuters to have skills and their wits about them is plain silly. It's the speed differencial that is dangerous. You never want to be going more than 25 MPH faster than traffic.

Never force it. Forcing it will eventually end in disaster.

I had a similar experience in my old 993 tt doing 145 mph on lake shore drive in Chicago.... I did a 180 degrees ... went backwards and pulled it out of a spin out.... It was scary....

I noticed he slowed down after that. Time for a pit stop to change out shorts.
